At the San Antonio gardens we have her listed as a once a year bloomer. Clearly she is providing color today. The first time I saw her bloom it reminded me of zinnias in the summer only with a nice rose scent.

This photo shows an older flower on the same bush. Still pretty. Rose de Rescht is a cold loving Damask but thrives nicely here (even in a nursery pot) waiting for that special rose collector. May have been named for the Persian city of Rescht.

A little history

This blog began back in 2008 as a view to the display gardens at the San Antonio retail location. Since then, the author has relocated and the retail location in San Antonio has been closed (July 2012). This blog will remain active and post items relating to the original Antique Rose Emporium location in Brenham, Texas.
